Typically the horsepower we measure in cars is the engine power. The angular velocity in that equation is the engine RPM, and the power is the rate of work (force over distance) that engine is capable of outputting at a given RPM. Because it's based on the engine RPM, this doesn't depend on the gear ratio.

When we talk about torque, it can be measured either at the crank (engine torque) or wheels (wheel torque). Wheel torque represents the amount of force applied by the wheel to the road, and depends on the gear - a lower gear will output more torque at a given RPM than a higher one. This will result in greater acceleration.

Seven western Wisconsin Republican lawmakers did not appear at an event hosted by the Wisconsin Farmers Union in Chippewa Falls Friday as farmers from the area said they were concerned about the effect that President Donald Trump’s first month in office is having on their livelihoods. 

Madison-area U.S. Rep. Mark Pocan (D-Black Earth), state Sen. Jeff Smith (D-Eau Claire) and state Reps. Jodi Emerson (D-Eau Claire) and Christian Phelps (D-Eau Claire) were in attendance. 

U.S. Reps. Tom Tiffany and Derrick Van Orden, state Reps. Rob Sommerfeld (R-Bloomer), Treig Pronschinske (R-Mondovi) and Clint Moses (R-Mondovi) and state Sens. Jesse James (R-Thorp) and Rob Stafsholt (R-New Richmond) were all invited but did not attend or send a staff member.

Not neurotypical? No need to get into specific diagnoses

"per se" (US) - people generally use it as "exactly" or "specifically", e g. "It's not circular, per se, more like a rounded rectangle". However, it actually means "in and of itself". I have a coworker that misuses this one constantly (and also spells it incorrectly) and it's become a huge pet peeve.

I like it better than the horizontal tabs, but it's still got nothing on the Tree Style Tabs extension. With that you can group tabs together, collapse trees, close trees, etc. Makes it much easier to keep things organized

GDScript is actually pretty good - it's similar to what TypeScript did for JavaScript, but for Python. However, IMO it's still worth using C# for larger projects
